lift kit help
 
I installed the Daystar 1 3/4 leveling kit yesterday and thought all went well. Today I thought something did not look right and took measurements around each wheel. The right (passenger) front corner is 1/2 inch lower than the left front corner. The rear corners are equal. I crawled under the front today and everything is tight. Anybody have any ideas to what is wrong?

Any help is appreciated.

Is your Coil seated correctly? Did you reinstall your stock isolated on that side ?

Check the axle perch where the coil sits, on both front

When I removed the front springs the stock isolators remained attached in the spring retainer(?) so they are still there. Or at least I assume they were there in the first place. The springs look like they are in the correct position, but I will be checking all of this again tomorrow. Anything else I need to look at. I am new to all of this.

Thanks for your input.

What he said. If that checks out, do a search for "JK lean". Many people have noticed this after lifting their Jeep, myself included.

I just did my TF leveling kit yest to.."front springs the stock isolators remained attached in the spring retainer(?) so they are still there" so did you put your spacer on top of your sring then the isolator? because it should be your spring..then your isolator then your spacer.

As sonofshin says, this is a pretty normal thing.
I'd give it a few weeks to see how it settles.
Right after doing the lift you'll be looking closely at the Jeep admiring it for a while. After a bit I doubt you'll notice it anymore, and probably nobody else ever will.

The isolator should not be on top of your spacer. They need to be moved so they are between the spring and the spacers. Otherwise the isolators may not compress the same in that position. Giving you a bit of a lean. You may also feel more vibrations.

What were the measurements before the lift? Were they different?

It raised it about 2 inches. Unfortunately, I did not measure on both sides, just driver side corners. :naw:
